ASSEMBLY IS DONE. LET’S HAVE SOME FUN!

PRE-SEASONING

Pre-seasoning will rid your smoker of chemicals and oils left over by the manufacturing process, allowing them to burn off. PRE-SEASON SMOKER PRIOR TO FIRST USE.

1. Insert the charcoal partition into the charcoal basket
2. Fill the charcoal basket ¼ – ½ full with charcoal (approximately 4-6pounds of charcoal).
3. Start the smoker following the START-UP instructions, and set the temperature to 275F for 120 minutes.
4. After 120 minutes, set the temperature to 400F, allow the smoker to burn out the remaining charcoal.
5. Allow the smoker to cool COMPLETELY.
6. Once cool, remove all the ash from the ash tray in the smoker. Wipe down your charcoal partition, charcoal basket, and ash tray with vegetable shortening. This will help keep these components seasoned.
7. Once oiled, repeat steps 1 – 5.

Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above.

SHUTDOWN

1. Remove food from smoker.
2. Close both smoker doors.
3. Set the unit to 400F.
4. Leave the unit running, and allow the charcoal to burn out completely.

ADDING SMOKE/FLAVOR

To add wood smoke fl avor, mix wood chunks into your charcoal basket with the charcoal before your cook begins. Or if cooking at temperatures with the charcoal partition, load wood chunks into the center of the partition. As the charcoal burns through the basket, your wood chunks will smoke for a great added flavor.
